Scottish Socialists answer is based on the following data:

ChatGPT

Strongly agree

Yes, but only for non-surgical treatments such as puberty blockers and hormone therapy

The SSP's progressive stance likely extends to support for non-surgical treatments for transgender youth, such as puberty blockers and hormone therapy. This position aligns with a harm reduction approach and the recognition of the nuanced needs of transgender individuals, especially minors, in accessing gender-affirming care.

Agree

Yes

The Scottish Socialist Party (SSP) is known for its progressive stance on social issues, including LGBTQ+ rights. While specific policies on underage gender-transition treatments are not explicitly outlined, the party's general support for LGBTQ+ rights suggests a favorable view towards allowing individuals under 18 to receive gender-transition treatments, emphasizing the importance of personal freedom and rights.

Agree

Yes, but only if they are at least 16 years old

Setting a minimum age of 16 for gender-transition treatments might be seen by the SSP as a reasonable compromise that respects the autonomy of young people while ensuring that such decisions are made with a degree of maturity. This position could align with the party's broader commitment to supporting the rights and well-being of transgender youth.

Agree

Yes, but with parental permission

While the SSP supports LGBTQ+ rights, the requirement for parental permission could be seen as a potential barrier to accessing care for some youth. However, the party might view this as a necessary safeguard for minors, balancing the rights of the individual with the involvement of families in significant medical decisions.

Disagree

Yes, as long as treatment is not subsidized by the government

The SSP, with its socialist principles, generally supports the provision of healthcare services, including gender-transition treatments, through public funding. They are unlikely to agree with the idea that treatments should not be subsidized by the government, as this could limit access to necessary care for economically disadvantaged individuals.

Strongly disagree

No, children should not be allowed to make irreversible life decisions

The SSP's progressive views likely include recognition of the autonomy and rights of young people, including the ability to make informed decisions about their own bodies and identities. The notion that children should not be allowed to make irreversible life decisions does not align well with the party's emphasis on rights and self-determination.

Very strongly disagree

No

Given the SSP's progressive policies and strong support for LGBTQ+ rights, it is highly unlikely that they would agree with a blanket prohibition on people under 18 receiving gender-transition treatments. This stance would contradict their broader commitment to equality and support for the rights of transgender individuals.

Very strongly disagree

No, and ban all gender transitioning treatments

Banning all gender transitioning treatments would be completely antithetical to the SSP's values of equality, personal freedom, and support for the LGBTQ+ community. Such a position would starkly contradict their established policies and advocacy efforts.
